About North Vancouver
Childcare in North Vancouver covers licensed daycare, preschool, and before and after school care, with centres spread across Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Seymour, and Deep Cove. Options range from infant and toddler care through to school age programs, delivered by non-profit societies, private operators, and programs running out of elementary schools. Demand consistently outpaces supply on the North Shore, particularly for infant and toddler spaces. Most families searching for childcare near you will need to join several wait lists at once, and starting early makes a real difference.
Join multiple wait lists. A single application rarely works for infant and toddler care in North Vancouver.
Ask where you sit on the list and how the centre allocates spaces, since practices vary between operators.
Check whether the centre takes part in the $10 a day ChildCareBC program, which caps parent fees at a flat monthly rate.
Look into the Affordable Child Care Benefit separately. It is income tested and applies at many centres regardless of the $10 a day program.
For school age care, contact your elementary school directly to find out which provider operates on site.
Non-profit centres often ask parents to volunteer time or take part in fundraising. Factor that in alongside the monthly fee.
North Vancouver has a growing nature preschool and forest school movement, with several programs using local parks and green space as classrooms. Wait lists across the North Shore are long enough that many families add their names well before they actually need a space.
